ORTELIUS Abraham 1527 1598.
Americae sive Novi orbis nova Descriptio
Amsterdam: Abraham Ortelius 1587. Original copperplate 12 4/8 x 19 inches. UNIQUE AND EXCEPTIONALLY FINE ENGRAVED COPPERPLATE of America on an oval projection with the title in an elaborate cartouche lower left and the ocean decorated with many ships and a sea-monster surrounded by a decorative border Some scratches and scuff marks old repair to top left of the cartouche. EXTREMELY RARE ORIGINAL COPPERPLATE FOR ORTELIUS'S IMPORTANT MAP OF THE AMERICAS. First issued in 1570 Ortelius's America 'was widely sold throughout Europe and had a great influence on the future cartography of the New World'. In the present copperplate the outlines of South America are considerably improved and without the bulge in Chili are much closer to those recognised today. It almost but not entirely corresponds to the third issue of the map Burden 64 which was the first to carry the cartographer's name. The small differences lie in an error to '270' degrees longitude here engraved '70' and in the historiated ornament at the corners. No antiquarian map issued from this plate is known. However the map published in the 1579 edition of Theatrum orbis terrarum contains the same error in numbering and this error was presumably copied. The use of two different plates in the printing of maps is not unusual but the differences are generally more important. We are grateful to Marcel van den Broecke for his help with this catalogue description see also his article on this copperplate published in Map Forum 2005 VII pp. 28-32. Catalogued by Kate Hunter.

This substantial undertaking assembled. the best available maps of the world by the most renowned and up-to-date geographers. each of Ortelius' maps was engraved specifically for his atlas according to uniform formats" Shirley. Effusively dedicated by Ortelius to Philip III of Spain 1578-1621 king of Spain and of Portugal as Philip II whose reign 1598-1621 was characterized by a successful and largely peaceful foreign policy in western Europe and internally by the expulsion of the Moriscos Christians of Moorish ancestry. The son of Philip II of Spain by his fourth consort and Habsburg cousin Anna of Austria. Philip III was pious benevolent and "highly virtuous in private conduct. After he became king Sept. 13 1598 he showed himself to be indolent and indifferent to his responsibilities. His father revealed his disappointment when he remarked that his son was unfit to govern the kingdoms God had given him and would instead be governed by them. In April 1599 the new king married his Habsburg cousin the Austrian archduchess Margaret. "From the beginning Philip placed affairs entirely in the hands of a favourite Francisco G�mez de Sandoval y Rojas marqu�s de Denia later the duke of Lerma-the first in a line of royal favourites who governed 17th-century Spain. Philip's government continued a policy of hostility to the Turks and in Italy it faced the rivalry of the Republic of Venice and the Duchy of Savoy. In the rest of western Europe however a Spanish policy of conciliation ruled. Peace in the West enabled the government to deal with the internal problem of the Moriscos and on April 9 1609 the decision was made for their expulsion which caused serious economic and demographic difficulties in certain areas. The peace was brought to an end by the outbreak 1618 of the Thirty Years' War in which Philip gave his unconditional support to the Holy Roman emperor Ferdinand II and the Catholic German princes. Remote from his subjects Philip spent huge sums on court entertainments and neglected Spain's growing economic problems which were to reach crisis proportions in the following reign. Having resided in Valladolid in the first years of his reign he eventually fixed his court in Madrid. After a visit to Portugal 1619 he suffered the first attack of an illness that two years later brought about his death" Encyclopedia Britannica online. Ortelius first published his "Theatrum�" arguably the first atlas in the modern sense of the word in 1570 with 70 seventy copper engravings on fifty-three double-folio pages. A businessman native to Antwerp Ortelius compiled the best existing maps re-engraved them on a standardized format and included them with the text in one volume. But by 1570 he had been dealing in maps and charts for more than twenty years. The death of Ortelius' father in 1535 who had been a wealthy merchant seems to have placed his family in financial difficulties. When Ortelius was as young as 19 he is recorded as having joined the Guild of St. Luke as 'afsetter' "or colourist of maps and prints. He seems to have reached a very advanced level of skill in this craft as some customers continued to insist on buying atlases coloured by him personally at a time when he had already developed into a publisher and cartographer/merchant� Ortelius also became a trader in books prints and maps. Much of this trading had to do with the house of Plantin subsequently publisher of the 'Theatrum'�Soon he was attending the book fair in Frankfurt to buy and sell books maps and prints for others as well as for himself. He first met Gerard Mercator there in 1554 which marked the state of a life-long professional relationship and personal friendship� " van den Broecke page 14. Through his work Ortelius became quite the cosmopolitan he travelled extensively to France Germany Switzerland Austria Hungary Italy England and Ireland and as a result had command of several languages. With the publication of the "Theatrum" came tremendous success and wealth. Giving full credit to the original cartographers the "Theatrum" was so successful that it was printed three times in 1570 alone. In 1574 Ortelius retained the position of Royal Cosmographer to Phillip II and was given a fine gold necklace worth 1000 ducats. Between 1570 and 1612 the atlas was published in 42 editions and the 7 languages: Latin German Flemish French Spanish English and Italian. Koeman Ort 41. Catalogued by Kate Hunter.

Indiae Orientalis Insularumque Adiacientium Typus.
Antwerp: Gielis Coppens van Diest 1570. Single sheet matted 13 5/8 x 19 4/8 inches to the neat line full margins showing the platemark. A fine engraved map with Latin text of the Indian Ocean with the title in a fine strapwork cartouche lower left and armorial device upper left decorated with fine mermaids sea monsters and ships with "cum Privilegio" lower right all surrounded by a broad decorative border minor restoration to the lower portion of the central vertical crease. First edition and a attractive copy of an early map to show India China Japan a portion of the Western coast of America including several mythical names in California and the Islands of the Indian Ocean including the Northern coastline of New Guinea described as being part of the southern continent also showing Beach and other information drawn from Marco Polo. From the first edition of Abraham Ortelius's celebrated "Theatrum orbis terrarium." which he compiled using his many contacts in the growing network of European cartographers to secure the best existing maps. "Indiae Orientalis." is based upon Mercator's world map of 1569 which he then had re-engraved by the talented Flemish artist Frans Hogenberg 1535-90 so that it conformed to a standard format and graphic style. Abraham Ortelius first published his atlas "Theatrum orbis terrarium" in 1570 and as Rodney Shirley noted in his study of world maps ushered in an era when "pre-eminence in map publishing was transferred from Italy to the Netherlands leading to over a hundred years of Dutch supremacy in all facets of cartographical production." Ortelius was a true pioneer in map publishing and his innovations brought momentous changes to the world views of contemporary Europeans. Little is known about his training and early career but his true accomplishment was the publication of the "Theatrum". The result was an atlas that was truly without precedent. Previously collections of maps had been assembled into book form but none conformed to the modern definition of the geographical world atlas. Map. [Antwerp: Gielis Coppens van Diest, 1570]. unknown

From the library of Louis II duc de Bourbon-Vendome 1612-1669 son of C�sar duke de Vend�me legitimized son of King Henri IV of France and Fran�oise de Lorraine duchess of Mercoeur. He was duc de Mercoeur duc d'Estampes and later duc de Vend�me Peer of France and Prince of Martignes. In 1651 he married Cardinal Mazarin's niece but after her death in 1657 he took to holy orders and eventually became a cardinal in 1667 when he received the red hat and the deaconry of S. Maria in Portico Campitelli on July 18 1667. It his religious arms France a baton couped in bend sinister with crucifix on a spiked staff behind which are emblazoned in gilt on the front panel which probably dates from between 1657 and 1667 after he had taken to the religious life but before he was made cardinal. Notably Louis participated in the conclave of 1667 which elected Pope Clement IX whom he later represented at the christening of the Dauphin of France son of King Louis XIV January 16 1668. However as a young man his religious fervour had been expressed in a more militant fashion: from 1630 Louis served in Savoy with King Louis XIII of France he was a volunteer in Holland and fought in Lille during 1631 taking part in the battle of Avein Luxembourg in 1635 and in the siege of Corbie in1636 of Hesdin in 1639 and of Arras in 1640 and other major battles of the Thirty Years' War. After the Peace of Westphalia in 1648 he was Commander of the French troops until1651 being Viceroy in Catalonia in 1650. He was the Commander in Provence charged with repressing the final troubles of the Fronde in 1653 and in 1656 he successfully battled the duke of Modena .

ORTELIUS Abraham 1527 1598.
Theatri Orbis Terrarum Enchiridion minoris tabulis Epitome.
Antwerp: Philippe Galle for Christopher Plantin 1585. 4to 182 x 140 7 3/16 x 5� in. modern bubble-grained cloth morocco gilt lettering-pieces on upper cover and spine edges stained red some light discoloration. First Edition of the Epitome with Latin text Plantin's woodcut device on title half-page allegroical engraving 83 ENGRAVED MAPS BY PHILIP GALLE including 6 double-page maps World Europe France Germany Lower Germany i.e. the Low Countries and Italy and 77 half-page regional maps including one of America and 2 maps "Septentrionalum regionum" and "Tartariae" showing parts of America numbered to 84 in the text omitting number 77. The idea of publishing a reduced format version of the 'Theatrum' was apparently conceived by Philip Galle who collaborated with the poet Pieter Heyns to produce the first edition published by Plantin under the title Spieghel der Werelt in 1577 and including 72 small maps. In 1579 Plantin published an edition with the text in French prose followed by two new French and Dutch editions to which 11 new maps were added. The present translation into Latin verse the fourth edition overall of this frequently reprinted and often imitated miniature atlas was the only edition printed in this larger square format rather than the usual oblong format thus incorporating the larger maps which had been previously folded in and with the smaller maps set within the letterpress text.

THE FIRST MODERN ATLAS This Latin edition of 1592 was vastly expanded from the first edition of two decades earlier and includes the appendix of historical maps known as the "Parergon" that represents Ortelius's most personal contribution to the volume. Abraham Ortelius first published his atlas "Theatrum orbis terrarium" in 1570 and as Rodney Shirley noted in his study of world maps ushered in an era when "pre-eminence in map publishing was transferred from Italy to the Netherlands leading to over a hundred years of Dutch supremacy in all facets of cartographical production." Ortelius was a true pioneer in map publishing and his innovations brought momentous changes to the world views of contemporary Europeans. Little is known about his training and early career but his true accomplishment was the publication of the "Theatrum". To compile the atlas he drew upon his many contacts in the growing network of European cartographers to secure the best existing maps. He then had them re-engraved by the talented Flemish artist Frans Hogenberg 1535-90 such that all conformed to a standard format and graphic style appended scholarly text to their versos and published them as a uniform edition. The result was an atlas that was truly without precedent. Previously collections of maps had been assembled into book form but none conformed to the modern definition of the geographical world atlas. These earlier volumes fell into two categories. The first comprised map books made to order according to the desires and needs of an individual client "composite atlases" sometimes called "Lafreri atlases" and no two were alike. In contrast to Ortelius's atlas few of these books included explanatory text and they contained a motley assortment of maps by different makers that showed little or no uniformity. The second category consisted of editions of Ptolemy's "Geography" which were more keyed to revising the text of the ancient geographer than to providing a comprehensive up-to-date cartographic world picture. In the "Theatrum" Ortelius also took the step - quite rare in the sixteenth century when plagiarism was rampant - of crediting the original authors of the maps included in a section entitled "Catalogus auctorum". Between the first appearance of the "Theatrum" in 1570 and its final edition in 1612 it was printed in thirty-one editions and seven different languages - a remarkable figure for the time.

Abraham Kuyper
The Work of the Holy Spirit
<p>Dr. Abraham Kuyper's exhaustive study of the work of the Holy Spirit still stands undiminished as the comprehensive Protestant statement about a central but much-misunderstood part of the Christian faith the Holy Spirit. In this volume originally published in English in 1900-it was translated by HENRI DE VRIES 1847-1932-Abraham Kuyper addresses what he feels is a scarcely discussed topic among theologians and practicing Christians: the person and work of the Holy Spirit. Much had been written about Jesus and the Father but he found very little about the Holy Spirit whose job it is to sanctify the soul. Kuyper divides his work into three volumes. Volume One covers the work of the Holy Spirit in the Church; Volumes Two and Three cover the work of the Holy Spirit in the individual. Dutch theologian ABRAHAM KUYPER 18371920 was prime minister of the Netherlands from 1901 to 1905. He developed Neo-Calvinism which emphasizes the sovereignty of Jesus over all mental pursuits and supports the idea that there exists a grace given by God to all things in order to sustain the continued unfolding of creation. Kuyper wrote a number of books including Conservatism and Orthodoxy 1870 The Social Question and the Christian Religion 1891 and Common Grace 1902.</p><p>Limited amount of underlining notations and marks about 30 pages out of the 664 have marks. <i><b>A desired classic volume! </b></i>Previous owners initials and date written on inside along with an Ex Libris label.

Daniel Abraham
The Long Price Quartet
A brand new Book no remainder marks. For the first time in one volume a first edition thus. The unforgettable epic fantasy The Long Price Quartet by Daniel Abraham award-winning coauthor of The Expanse series.In a world of ancient empires and immortal magics one man stands at the crossroads of history.The aggressively expansionist Galt empire has already conquered lands across a huge continent. But the cities of the Khaiem resist Galt's power with the andat creatures of magic with godlike powers. But magic and treacherous politics have brought a bitter harvest of violence and sorrow.Otah Machi caught between ancient wonders and a modern empire has survived more than most men endure in two lifetimes. He is the culmination of a complex inheritance and his own existence is the fulcrum around which the wheels of epic history rotate through achingly poignant cycles of life and death love and betrayal.Now when the world seems utterly lost all depends on Otah and the lost loves and found family he has desperately hoped to protect from the tragedy that beckons. If they can summon the courage and power to forgive and resist darkness all their hopes could be salvaged--along with their world."There is much to love in The Long Price Quartet. It is epic in scope but character centered with a setting both unique and utterly believable. The storytelling is smooth careful and--best of all--unpredictable."--New York Times Bestselling Author Patrick Rothfuss. The Long Price Quartet includes: 1. A Shadow in Summer 2. A Betrayal in Winter 3. An Autumn War 4. The Price of Spring. TOR books paperback
